I AM IN LOVE?

"I love You Lord, more than I love myself
I love You Lord, more than my heart could sing"


These are 2 lines from one of the Chrisitan songs that I like. The melody flows and the lyrics really draws one wanting to love the Lord more. But even as this song was being played on last Sunday service, I couldn't help but not sing. I couldn't bring myself to sing as it would be just purely a motion. In fact, as the lyrics and music were flashed into my mind, I came to realise that there would be no truth if I do sing out.
I asked myself, "Can I really love the Lord more than myself? Are my actions reflecting my love for the Lord?" I knew the answer. No! I definitely wasn't living a life that shows my love for the Lord was more than for myself.
As I came to this realisation, it was not so much of condemnation but rather that the point that there is still a long way for me. My walk with the Lord is a process. And definitely I would want to come to a point where my love for the Lord is more than for myself. So would I stop singing this song? I don't think so. But subsequent singing of this song will always be a reminder to myself that I am far from achieving it but yet it is my desire to love the Lord with all my heart, soul and might!
